Welcome.
These are some of the attempts at verse that I have made over the years. I trust that they are to the glory of the Lord Jesus - and that putting them here is to His glory too.
I have now posted most that I have written at least once but continue in case a new audience finds new blessing. Occasionally I throw in some other verse.
Comment are welcome.

AUNTIE LIZ

Dear Ingrid, you will never know Your dear old Auntie Liz,You’ll have no chance for her to show Her sparkle and her fizz.

You’ll see her figure and her form Fixed in a photographBut you will never hear her warm Reverberating laugh.

You will not have the chance to share The days when she is glad;Nor need to join with us in prayer In days when she is sad.

You will not laugh along with her At her own quaint behaviour;His grace has taken her to where She’s with her Lord and Saviour.

The One who promised He would keepHer safe from fears and harmsHas gently nestled her to sleep Within His tender arms.

Dear Ingrid, in this world of sin To travel without scatheTrust in the Lord she trusted in And imitate her faith.

Written shortly after my sister-in-law's death - when Ingrid my granddaughter and her great-niece was tiny.
